The paint waste from the cosmetics packaging industry was sent to the third party for disposal by paying several management fees for hazardous waste. The use of paint waste as raw material for paving block products can reduce the environmental impacts and provide economic benefits. The life cycle assessment is a tool for measuring the environmental impact of this utilization compared to the management carried out by the third party. There are four scenarios reviewed that consist of third-party management, utilization as raw materials for paving block by the concentration of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% respectively. The analysis shows that the utilization of dry paint waste as a raw material for a paving block can reduce the impact of global warming and photo oxidant. The compressive strength value of paving blocks increased with the addition of the dry paint waste with the concentration of 1 and 2%, then a slight decrease in proportion occurred with the addition of paint waste concentration up to 5%. The addition of dry paint waste does not affect the water absorption with a range of 2%, meeting the standard for a paving block.
